Of all my many years of dealing with lawyers, they are by far the worst. I cannot afford to use them again, due to their incompetence. Rude, I can deal with, but they could not adequately complete the required documentation, even after repeated phone calls. You have been warned!

"WOW! I am so blessed to have you being the woman working on my behalf! That is just ""above and beyond"" anything I could hope for! Thank you from the bottom of my heart. Now I feel a little better about my case and that is because of you! Penny, thank you so much. What you did, did not add money to your side, it was all extra for me and that means so much. You did not have to do anything more and yet you took the time to help me further. I truly believe that ""what goes around comes around"" and that people are blessed Ten times in return for each blessing they share with others. You girl are going to see amazing things happen in your world. You just blessed me and I won't forget that.

Do not use these lawyers, states they're cheap. But quality of work is very bad. I did not get phone calls, no replies from most emails I had sent. I don't even know if they had done the things I had told them to do. Asked for deposit. And when settlement date, did not include deposit into final figures. So the deposit they still owe me. Not happy! Bad service and unprofessional. Trust me go to someone else.

I have had the pleasure of working with PENNY on two separate occasions. Penny and her staff provided an excellent level of service. I was kept informed of everything that was happening with my case. Penny outlined from the very beginning what my options were. The outcome on both cases were better than I anticipated. Initially, I had some reservations about hiring a Solicitor to handle my case but in the end I was very glad that I made the decision to do so and that I hired Penny.

Thank you from my heart. You went all out and the results were outstanding. You were diligent, professional, and supportive through a very difficult and ugly divorce. You strategized perfectly and I am so very appreciative. You are the only lawyers I feel confident working with. Your confidence gave me reassurance as well. I would never hesitate to recommend you to anyone. I believe you are smart, sincere and very capable and I knew that you would do a great job for me. Thank you for protecting my interests and the interests of my children. Being awarded full custody has been a blessing." "Thank you for all of your help in getting me such a great settlement. It is much appreciated! Your combination of skill in and out of the courtroom and knowledge of the law combines with the wonderful ability to listen to your client. This was the most stressful time in my life but I knew I had chosen the right lawyer immediately. You explained my options and were honest and professional throughout. I was confident that you would advocate very well on my behalf. I still cannot believe the settlement you won for me. My children and I will forever be grateful to you and your entire office. I want to express my deepest gratitude for all of your work on my behalf. Knowing you were in charge and seeing your strength in the courtroom allowed me to be at ease. I am so thankful that this is settled and I can now begin to plan my future in earnest. Your concern and aggressive representation on my behalf as well as your attentiveness to the interests of my children was so important during my recent divorce. Thank you so much for all you and your law office did for me. Thank you for your compassion as a human being and your intelligence and skill as a lawyer. I am very happy that I chose you and would recommend you to anyone in a similar predicament. Thank you for helping me to take the first steps toward a new and better life.

I am so impressed with the professional service Cost Effective Lawyers afforded me during my property conveyance that I have recommended you to all my family and friends. Whenever I called your team were always available to assist with my questions. Keep up the good work. your prices are so competitive. You certainly have my business the next time we sell and buy. thanks again CEL

When moving home there is so much to consider. You have to deal with so many people and the process can be very stressful, especially when people do not pull their weight or keep in contact throughout the chain. We moved home about a month ago and although it was not as stressful as some moves for various reasons it was still stressful, well for me it was. Anyway onto the review. When moving home you are required to get a solicitor/ lawyer to carry out all the legal work known as Conveyancing. This applies to selling and purchasing. We did so much research in to finding a solicitor. We compared prices, read reviews, looked at companys websites, asked friends and family members for advice on who to go with and who to avoid. As the solicitor is one of the most important parts of the sale and purchase process it is very important to me to have someone who works hard for you and does get all the work done on time. Now most of the reviews on this company were extremely positive and their website seemed very reliable and up to date compared to others when doing our research so we decided to trust the opinions of others and go for them. Another good thing about them is they have offices located throughout the UK so you will never be that far from one of them if you ever needed to visit them and they work on a no sale/purchase no fee basis. So if it all collapses near the end through no fault of your own you dont pay them a single penny. I liked the idea of this very much. Considering house buying is such a dodgy business and something that you as a person are unable to control Id rather prepare my self and protect myself for the worst, because had it all fallen through and I lost my money, it would of taken me another 6 months to save up the money again, by which time house prices probably would of gone up and knocked me out of the chance of making my 1st ever purchase and I would have had to wait until they dropped again. If they ever did and that could be ages away. Anyway we got off to a flying start in that as soon as I instructed them to go ahead and do the work for us on the sale and purchase they were straight on the ball and straight to work. My fee was debited from my bank account in two days and I received all the documentation to sign within 2 days so they could carry out the legal work. The slight problem we had was my partner was selling his property with the BRISBANE branch and we were purchasing through the TOOWONG branch and I said would it not make sense to have both our files together so the work can get done faster and they said no no its fine like this. Two weeks later they decided to move our purchase file up to the Manchester office to keep it together with the sale stuff so we had two weeks wasted and had to start again. But never mind. After this little hiccup everything was done within 4 weeks and we were all set to exchange and complete and they caught up on themselves. Then the problem came when the person who was purchasing my partners house, his solicitor was being extremely not returning any of our solicitors calls or messages. Nor was this person in their office very much. Kept stating they would deal with the file tomorrow and tomorrow never came. Anyway about two weeks went on like this, which was the stressful part but I can honestly say that I believe this other lawyers could not have done much more for us really. They regularly contacted us and kept us up to date and they also harassed the purchasers solicitor to get it all to complete. When ever I was promised a call back I always received one and I was told everything that was happening. I recommend CEL because they were efficient, reliable and hard working and because they work on a no sale/purchase no fee basis they work harder than these ones who get their dosh anyway. They have to, to allow them to make money. I would definitely recommend them to people because of the service that I received. Although they cocked up slightly they turned it around and sorted the problems out and allowed me to move into my new home. I thank them very much. Thanks for reading and have a nice evening

Used Cost Effective Lawyers for Conveyancing on my sale and purchase in Brisbane and Gold Coast found via the internet and would highly recommend. Penny was very approachable and always responded quickly to emails and promptly returned my phone calls. The price was very competitive cheaper than my other solicitor and cheaper than others. Penny managed to advise on the contracts in a timely manner despite my buyer's solicitors being difficult to contact; spending a lot of time chasing them to try and get them to keep moving things forward. On the day of the completion (a Monday), I was worried that my buyer's solicitors would hold things up, but Penny was straight onto them at 9:00 in the morning and had managed to complete by 11:00am, much to my pleasant surprise. Overall, I would highly recommend Cost Effective Lawyers to anyone needing Conveyancing and would definitely use again should the need arise.

"Just wanted to drop a note to say thanks, I can honestly say that I've been very impressed with your handling of our situation.

I certainly won't hesitate to recommend your firm to other prospective clients in future. You had to deal with a few curve balls thrown your way and we may have made errors in judgement had it not been for your advice and intervention along the way. Best wishes for an extremely successful future."
